PEDIATRIC HEALTHY WEIGHT & WELLNESS CLINIC
A supportive, shame-free path to healthy growth and sustainable habits for children.
Service Description
Healthy Habits. Strong Bodies. Confident Kids. Pediatrician Referral Required Youth Wellness + Nutrition + Movement Healthy change should never begin with shame. Grounded Stars’ Pediatric Healthy Weight & Wellness Clinic is a supportive, structured program for youth who have been referred by their pediatrician for additional education and support surrounding healthy weight management, nutrition, physical activity, and everyday wellness. This is a SAFE ZONE. There is no body shaming, teasing, public weighing, food punishment, crash dieting, or comparing children’s bodies. We focus on what young people can build—not what they need to “fix.” Our goal is to help participants develop a healthier relationship with food, movement, their bodies, and themselves while learning realistic skills they can continue using at home. WHAT'S INCLUDED Participants engage in interactive experiences centered around: Age-appropriate fitness, movement, and physical wellness Nutrition and food literacy Healthy portions and balanced meal building Hands-on meal planning and meal preparation Grocery shopping and label-reading skills Hydration and healthy snack education Sleep, stress, and emotional wellness Understanding hunger and fullness cues Confidence, body respect, and positive self-talk Goal setting and sustainable habit building Family-centered wellness education MEAL PREP + RECIPE CARDS Youth will learn how to prepare simple, realistic, nutritious meals and snacks rather than simply being told what they should or should not eat. Participants can receive take-home recipe and meal-prep cards featuring ingredients, preparation instructions, serving ideas, healthy substitutions, and family-friendly options so skills practiced during the clinic can continue at home. PEDIATRICIAN REFERRAL REQUIRED Enrollment requires a referral note from the participant's pediatrician or qualified pediatric healthcare provider. The referral helps ensure participation is appropriate for the child's individual health needs and encourages families to maintain medical oversight of growth, weight, medications, underlying conditions, and other clinical concerns. Grounded Stars does not replace a child's pediatrician, registered dietitian, or other healthcare providers. Our role is to provide an encouraging health-education environment where youth can practice the everyday skills that support their broader care plan. NO SHAME. NO DIETS. NO COMPARISONS.

Welcome to Grounded Stars! Participant Group Rules — Please Read Carefully There are no refunds. Please reach out if you need to reschedule your missed class. We're happy to help. Our group spaces are designed to be safe, supportive, and protected spaces for youth and young adults. To keep it that way, everyone must follow these important rules while participating in any class, workshop, or group session. Camera Rules Cameras must stay ON during the entire session so we can protect the group and make sure everyone is really who they say they are. If you need to step away, you must tell the facilitator in chat or on camera before leaving. You can only be away for up to 10 minutes. If your camera is off and you ignore two reminders from the facilitator, you will be removed from the session for safety reasons. Respect and Behavior Rules Always show respect to other participants and facilitators. No bullying, harassment, or disrespectful language. No foul language, slurs, or hateful speech — this is a safe zone for everyone. Be open-minded and supportive of others, no matter their background or life experiences. Privacy and Safety Rules No sharing your contact information (phone numbers, social media, email, addresses) in the group or after the group. Do not ask for or pressure anyone else to share their personal information. You must be alone on camera, with no friends or family joining your screen unless it’s a family program. They can sit beside you. You must join from a quiet, safe space with no background distractions like loud TV, phone calls, or music. Dress Code You must be FULLY dressed in public-appropriate clothing during all sessions. Time and Attendance Be on time! The session will start on time, and anyone joining late may not be allowed in. Frequent lateness, disruptive behavior, or ignoring these rules will lead to removal from the group and may impact your ability to join future programs. By joining our group, you agree to follow these rules. Repeated or serious violations will result in being removed from the group, and we will notify your guardian or case manager if needed. We want this space to feel good for everyone — let’s keep it safe, focused, and supportive!
